International Centre of Excellence for Dams is a Centre that will act as a technological arm of the Ministry of Jal Shakti to provide specialized technical support in investigations, modelling, research and innovations, and technical support services for the Indian and overseas dam owners.

An MoA was signed on February 14, 2023, with the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Central Water Commission, New Delhi and the Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS) for the establishment of the International Centre of Excellence for Dams (ICED) at IIT Roorkee under DRIP Phase II and Phase III.

The vision of the ICED is to develop the Centre as the most advanced Centre globally to provide advanced engineering solutions to emerging dam design safety and rehabilitation challenges.

The Centre will work for agreed dam safety areas to support the Ministry and provide solutions to various emerging challenges faced in dam safety through scientific research. It will also carry out applied research, education, and technology transfer in dam safety management at local, regional, national, and international levels.

The specific objectives of the formation of ICED are as follows.

To empower 'Make in India' in dam safety by undertaking advanced research and developing technologies and application products.
ICED is committed to enabling fast-track innovations. This commitment ensures that the Centre will always be at the forefront of providing the most appropriate solutions to various challenges in dam safety for the agreed working areas, giving stakeholders a sense of reassurance.
ICED is dedicated to creating a pool of competent manpower for dam-owning agencies and industry. This workforce will be equipped with state-of-the-art theoretical and practical know-how, instilling confidence in the future of dam safety management.
Self-sufficiency in providing (a) Solutions through scientific studies, (b) Technology development

ICED faculty/ engineers will work towards an in-depth understanding of the problems about the focused areas faced by the dam-owning agencies to offer practical recommendations and position their R&D activities accordingly.

Main Functions of ICED

Master's and Ph.D. programs in Dam safety and rehabilitation for Indian and overseas dam ofﬁcers.
Carry out fundamental and applied research in Dam engineering and develop world-class research labs.
Develop partnerships with leading organizations in India and overseas.
Provide short-term training programs and consultancy to dam owners in India and abroad.

Focus Areas of Centre
